Getting Ready!

The last few weeks have involved preparation for sowing/seeding time. Farmer Phil and Ryan have sprayed the paddocks to kill any weeds or volunteer wheat and canola from 2011. Lime has been spread where the pH is on the acidic side. And yesterday we spent the day replacing points, liquid tubes and hoses on the air seeder.

We even conned Emma into helping and getting her hands dirty!!

Everything is ready to start sowing today or tomorrow! 6 weeks of tractor work here we come!!!
